Nationals, Zimmerman Agree To Extension
By Zach Links [February 26, 2012 at 7:51am CST]
The Nationals brought in several new players this offseason, but they may have
just made their most important move. Washington has agreed to terms on a new
six-year contract extension with Ryan Zimmerman, with a club option for a
seventh year. Saturday was the Brodie Van Wagenen client's self-imposed
deadline for a new deal.
Zimmerman, 27, was already under contract through 2013 thanks to the five-year,
$40MM contract he signed in April 2009. He is slated to earn $12MM this season
and $14MM next season, and would have become a free agent this winter had he
not signed that first extension. No trade protection was said to be the final
hurdle between him and the club, though he'll earn 10-and-5 protection in
September 2015.
Since making his big league debut a few weeks after being the fourth overall
pick in 2005, Zimmerman is a .288/.355/.479 career hitter with four 20+ homer
and four 30+ double seasons to his credit. Over the last three years, he's
produced a .296/.370/.499 batting line with a Gold Glove, an All-Star Game
berth, two Silver Sluggers, and a pair of top-25 finishes in the MVP voting.
Only Evan Longoria and Adrian Beltre have posted a better UZR at the hot corner
than Zimmerman (+24.6 UZR) since 2009. In terms of wins over replacement, he's
been the 12th most valuable position player in baseball over the last three
seasons (17.1 WAR).
